...raucous fans, would not be quelled, registering a touchdown with just 3:37 remaining and tacking on a two-point rush by O’Hagan to tie the game. The squads entered overtime as the sun set on the unlit Yale Bowl and the crowd started to lose sight of the ball. A missed field goal, an interception, and two fumbles kept both sides from scoring in the first two extra periods. Would the epic clash ever end, or would the failing light force a tie for the first time since 1968?Perhaps the spirit of The Game, unwilling...
...just one of many philanthropic or socially conscious organizations started by young social entrepreneurs that is experiencing rapid growth and tremendous success. Countless others, including Orphans Against AIDS started by a 26-year-old Harvard Business School student and Unite for Sight started by a Yale sophomore in her dorm room, are living proof that young adults intent on changing the world can have a monumental impact.

...heading off devastating climate change--and to sidestepping out-of-sight oil prices along the way--is to improve technology. We need good alternatives to fossil fuels, not the ersatz variety in which we convert corn to ethanol and then face soaring food prices. We need to harness vast amounts of solar power and start storing the carbon dioxide emitted by coal-fired power plants underground. We need green buildings that demand less energy for heating and cooling, and automobiles that get vastly more miles per gallon...
